Nursery and Pre-School Information:

Pre school admissions for 2-3 year olds and 3-4 year olds are managed by the school. Please call the school and speak to Sharon or email us through the virtual office. We have a number of 30 hour places available and are eligible to provide places for 2 year olds with funding. Please note that there are no deadlines for applications and we can accept children throughout the year.

Most children join the Nursery class at the start of the school year in which they have their fourth birthday. All children will be offered 15 hours free provision and some parents will qualify for a further 15 hours childcare, known as 30 hours funding. For more information and to find out if you are eligible visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk.

Recently, our Nursery and Pre School has relocated to new premises within our school grounds. As a result of this, we have expanded our early years provision. We now offer up to 45 spaces for each Nursery session.
